Magic Underachiever

As the Vlomink Empire officially launched the plan to build a large naval fleet, the situation along the eastern coast of the entire Order Continent suddenly became tense.

While the Eastern countries were actively forming a joint fleet, they also continuously issued ultimatums to the Vlomink Empire internationally, demanding that the Empire immediately stop building a large naval fleet to avoid disrupting the military balance in the region.

"If the Vlomink Empire continues to ignore the demands of Eastern countries and stop its worrying military expansion, the Vlomink Empire will be responsible for all the consequences!"

The Marcellus Parliament also frequently publicly stated that the Empire's formation of a large fleet has threatened the security of the Marcellus Province. "In the Marcellus Sea, the Eastern countries are making all kinds of difficulties for our sea merchants. The sanctions caused by the Empire's wrong decisions have caused heavy losses to our Marcellus merchants. The construction of the Grand Fleet is exacerbating the tension in the eastern seas, and the Eastern countries are forming a joint fleet. If the Empire continues to act on its own, it will inevitably lead to greater sanctions from the Eastern countries, or even military action.

The artillery fire will destroy all our coastal cities, and the coastal economic zone centered on Saroyan has 70% of the population and wealth of the entire Marcellus. This is a disaster for Marcellus, which has been peaceful for 200 years!

And this disaster could have been avoided. The current situation is entirely due to the Empire's willful behavior, disregarding the peaceful international environment and breaking the regional military balance. The disaster that resulted has to be borne by the Marcellus people...

This is unfair!

Marcellus needs more say, and the Marcellus people cannot become victims of the Empire.

..."

Like a steam engine with fuel added, the whole world is rolling because of the Flemish Empire's naval plan.

Even though there were objections both at home and abroad to the "waste of money and manpower" to building a large naval fleet that was destined to be annihilated, the emperor of the empire who decided to take this step did not waver at all. This is indeed a fleet that concerns the fate of the country. If he succeeds, he will be the most civil and military emperor in the empire's history. No matter what the future Vlominck becomes, he will remember that he led the country into true prosperity.

Failure... He is a representative of militarism, and the country has declined since then.

In fact, if a large naval fleet is not built, when foreign countries rely on the ocean to speed up the exchange of information and materials and develop national strength rapidly, the empire restricted to the inland will only widen the gap with other countries, and eventually become more backward and remote, and it will be difficult to prosper from then on.

Therefore, in the Vlominck Empire, the ocean faction headed by the emperor of the empire occupies a dominant position in the ruling system. They responded very strongly to the ultimatums of the Eastern countries and issued warnings to the Marcellus Parliament many times.

"As a province of Florence, you must understand your position. Only when the Imperial Navy can protect the Marcellus waters, the Marcellus merchants will not have to worry about their ships being intercepted at will by warships of other countries at sea.

Marcellus is now prosperous because you have the powerful musket cavalry regiment of the Empire behind you, but if you want to have more say in the international market, please support the construction of the Imperial Navy.

..."

While Florence, Marcellus and the Eastern countries were fighting in the air with radio waves, high-level visits between countries around the world also suddenly began to increase. All parties are actively expanding their international environment, hoping to get more international support and assistance in future conflicts.

When the delegations entered and exited the conflicting three-party area every day, the envoys sent by the Holy See of Goodness also quietly visited the Eastern countries and the Florence Empire.

Da Liang handed the affairs of the Holy See of Goodness to Titus. He admired Titus very much. The priest's vision and ability in the overall situation were what the Great Tomb needed. If he could really be used by himself, then this think tank would be able to share a lot of things for him.

The Black Fire Territory led by Daliang has never developed a large direct force. This is mainly because Daliang's Black Fire Territory rose too fast. In the ancient magic era, that is, the former Hero World game, as one of the top forces, Daliang's Black Fire Territory was the youngest and smallest.

Therefore, Daliang relied more on his own connections and diplomatic skills, and used the military force of other forces for his own use.

There are certainly many benefits to doing this. He can rely on his titles and official positions in many forces to get along with each other, win over some and then attack some, so that the Black Fire Territory does not have to face too powerful enemies directly. But it also exposes the shortcomings of the Black Fire Territory's lack of various talents... It forced Daliang to spend a lot of time dealing with the major forces in the game, making himself busy every day.

But it is easy to get thousands of troops, but it is difficult to get a general, not to mention strategic talents who can strategize.

Ogre Kuka is a very good commander, but he can only fight.

Elf Butler Mike's greatest achievement was to be the leader of a gang, good at management and socializing. Mike can be trained as a business assistant, but he lacks a higher level of vision.

The remaining heroes... such as the Julian sisters, Princess Ziling, Nicole, Minia, and Soul Eater Hauge. Some are good at fighting, some are good at research, and some are just thieves. Although they all have their own strengths, no hero can serve as a think tank to share the pressure of Daliang's own responsibilities.

Father Titus is a very capable person. If it weren't for Daliang intervening with the heroes of the Great Tomb, he would have been appointed as the bishop of the Azure Cathedral and become an important figure that no one in the Marcellus area can ignore. Therefore, Daliang has been observing Titus and looking for opportunities to break his belief in the God of Light, hiring him to form the Light of Order, and even showing his true identity.

Even Rachel saw that Daliang liked Father Titus very much, so when she was picking up the priest to and from the Flame City, her attitude changed a lot.

Regarding the matter of the Holy See airborne bishops to the Azure Cathedral, Daliang decided not to interfere. A bishop can't affect the strategy of the Great Tomb, so let Father Titus do it. Let's see if he can live up to his appreciation of him and sit on the position of the bishop of the Azure Cathedral with his own ability.

Father Titus can certainly feel Daliang's favor for him. As he preached, the more he understood this group of ancient heroes, the more shocked he was by the strength of this force. This is a real god. How many mortals are qualified to serve a god?

How many people can refuse the invitation of a god?

Titus realized that becoming the bishop of the Azure Cathedral was the final test for him. If he wanted to truly enter this group, he had to show his worth to God.
